As a global brand, we realize that one of the most important steps we can take right now is using our platform to #amplifymelanatedvoices. To that end, we’re pausing our regularly scheduled beauty content and shutting down our website for #blackouttuesday to make space for black creators, brands, activists, artists, and community members to be seen and heard. During this time, we’ll listen, learn, and work to further leverage our platform for the benefit of the black community at large. We’ll be continually reevaluating how we can contribute to the Black Lives Matter movement in the most meaningful ways possible and share those details as they come.

Like you, we’re heartbroken. We’re frustrated. We’re angry. Now is no time to be silent, to be indifferent. We all need to look racism in the face and speak out against hate — educate ourselves, learn to recognize privilege & inequality, and stand in solidarity with the black community. Their pain is our pain, because all lives can’t matter until #blacklivesmatter. Join us — swipe right for some resources and organizations working to bring an end to the violence & injustice, and comment below with more ways to take action.
